C547 Empress Dowagers sudden appearance (1/2)

However, the Crown Prince was different. From the beginning, the Crown Prince had everything, so if he wanted to marry someone, then it must be from the bottom of his heart. For this reason, she had been working hard all these years.

But the result?

Nangong Zi Yuan looked at Murong Xi with a bit of jealousy. She had a sudden thought. 'Wouldn't it be great if the princess consort disappeared now?' Thinking of this, Nangong Zi Yuan started to laugh.

However, the Fifth Prince did not see this. At this moment, the Fifth Prince was looking at the third item in a lazy manner.

This third item was truly interesting.

”Everyone, the third item was personally delivered to me by His Majesty.” As Princess Wushuang said this, she took out a box. When she opened it, she saw a string of buddhist beads inside.

This buddhist bead was something His Majesty had always regarded as a treasure.

When His Majesty ascended to the throne, Esteemed Empress Dowager gave it to him. Now that His Majesty's taken this out, who would dare buy it? But if no one bought it, there was no doubt His Majesty would be even angrier. This was a hot potato.

Of course, this was for ordinary people. As soon as this item was brought out, the eyes of the people from the royal family lit up. As long as they bought this thing, it would show their respect for the emperor.

For a moment, without waiting for Princess Wushuang to call out, she had already started to bid.

There were a total of three princes present. The Fifth Prince lazily shouted, ”Fifty thousand taels.”

Then came the battle between the Fifth Prince and the Third Marquis.

At Feng Qing's side, Murong Xi looked at his and whispered, ”Your Highness, are you not going to fight?”

Feng Qing shook his head. As usual, he didn't want to fight over anything. Murong Xi was immediately a bit disappointed. If she were to fight for it, it would be a good thing for them and they would have some face. This person … She actually didn't even buy such an important buddhist bead.

As long as the buddhist beads were given to the emperor, wouldn't he receive even more attention?

The more Murong Xi thought about it, the more she felt that it was a pity. She could not help but want to shout, but she was swept by Feng Qing's gaze and did not dare to say anything. That gaze was terrifyingly cold, as if he was looking at a dead person, causing Murong Xi to be unable to breathe.

It was hard to believe that this was the look in Feng Qing's eyes.

Murong Xi only regained his senses after a long while. When she came back to her senses, the buddhist beads had already fallen into the hands of the Third Marquis and had cost a total of three hundred thousand silver taels. In the eyes of the ministers present, this number could be said to be a huge one.

Even if a prince were to win, it would still be a loss of strength. However, the Third Marquis didn't seem to care at all. It was as if he wasn't worried that the Emperor would misunderstand whether he had embezzled something or not.

After obtaining the Buddha beads, the Third Marquis was in a good mood.

Princess Wushuang saw that the crowd had gotten their hands on something, and smiled: ”Next up, there's nothing left to bid for. If everyone is interested, then let's raise the money, and at that time, I will hand over the things that are being collected to the Mu Yun Tower for auction.

Your Majesty will definitely remember your contributions as well. ”

After Princess Wushuang said this, everyone present felt relieved. If they were to be asked to donate the money directly, firstly, once they took out money other than their salary, they would be suspected of something. Secondly, the money they took out was too little.

This caused the crowd to feel awkward. However, if they were to take out some treasure, it would not be difficult for them to do so. Most of the people present were eunuchs' houses.

As long as he took out some random items and claimed them to be ancestral heirlooms, he would be able to express his thoughts.

Everyone's thoughts began to come alive.

Very soon, everyone began to donate. Even Feng Qing had donated a painting. It was said that it belonged to the Heaven Gate, and it was extremely rare.
